Please help me with juice/drink ideas, that can be taken to office.. it means we cannot drink it as cool, also our juice should not spoil after 5-6hrs also..

Currently, i'm doing

mint lemon juice
lemon with jaljeera
simple lemon juice
buttermilk with chat masala
buttermilk with ginger, curryleaves, green mirchi and other spices..

Pls share with me, if you know any other ideas..
Also, any drink based on mango fruit is welcomed.. as mango is my fav:banana

water melon :
Put the water melon cubes in a mixie and run for one to two seconds. Serve chilled. You can also add few drops of lemon juice and few Mint leaves for extra flavour

Chikoo (Sapota) Milk Shake:
Remove the skin and the seeds from the fruit. Cut it into medium size pieces. Put it in a mixie along with sugar and grind it to a fine puree. Then add the milk and run for one to two seconds. Serve chilled.
Tips: You can add one tablespoon cream or milk powder while grinding the fruit pieces to get rich shake.

[h=2]few suggestions for making mango juice:[/h]1. since we want to taste the original flavor of mango then better not to add any other ingredient in the juice.
2. use sweet and mangoes having a firm juicy pulp like alphonso. avoid fibrous mangoes.
3. while you are making the mango juice then you can consider leaving few bite size mango pieces intact. because when you are having mango juice then these mango pieces comes as a surprise and make your drink more richer and yummy.

and blend them till smooth

i suggest you can consider leaving few mango pieces or add them later on to the juice.

serve the mango juice in tall glasses.

or you can serve it in a bowl if you are having it with puri or phulkas.

[COLOR=#303030 !important]if you want to have mango juice cold then
1. you can add some ice cubes to it.
2. or you can keep the mango juice in refrigerator for few hours.
3. or you can keep the mangoes in refrigerator overnight and make the mango juice next day.

if you want to reduce the consistency of mango juice then you add water or ice cubes to it. enjoy.[/COLOR]

Watermelon juice if taken to office should be had within 2 hours. Otherwise it ll get spoiled. (Personal experience..... )

PersonalTaste · Apr 25, 2014

Yes Naveena, fruit juices and milkshakes got spoiled, if we delayed to drink it.. also some juices not taste better when it is in room temperature..:-(
We can enjoy these only when we are in home.. Chillout!

I got another one option from net : Aam Panna:bananaSource: spiceupthecurry.com

Ingredients

Raw mango – 1 large (about 300 grams)

Roasted cumin powder – 2 teaspoons **Notes

Crushed black pepper powder – ½ teaspoon

Black salt – 2 teaspoons

Salt – to taste

Jaggery – 2 tablespoons **Notes

Water – 3 ½ cups

......................................................................................**Notes –

Roasted cumin powder – you can make it at home. Dry roast the cumin seeds on medium heat. As it gets dark color and you will get nice aroma. Turn off the stove, remove it to another plate and let it cool completely and then grind it in spice grinder to fine or coarse powder.

Jaggery – you can use sugar instead of jaggery. Quantity of sugar or jaggery will depend on the sourness of your mango. So use accordingly. I have used white jaggery, so the color of the drink is light, you will get light color if you use sugar. But the drink will be dark if you use red or darker colored jaggery.

Instructions

Roast the mango directly on slow-medium stove heat.

It’ skin will start to get black in color. Roast it turning all around till it get black from all sides. (Instead of roasting, you can boil it in pressure cooker. Peel the mango and pressure cook it with some water for 2-3 whistles. Pressure cooking time may vary as per size of mango.)

Let the mango cool completely.

Then peel the skin off. Skin will come out very easily.

Roughly chop it. Most of the part will be very soft and pulpy.

Take it to the blender with roasted cumin powder, black salt, black pepper powder and salt.

Add jaggery.

Blend it to a smooth puree.

Now you can keep the puree refrigerated at this point if making drink later. Or if making right away then take about 2 tablespoons of pulp to the glass.

Add couple of ice cubes.

Pour chilled water, stir it. (You can make all at once in big pitcher, but I was making only 2 glasses at a time so made individually)

Garnish with some roasted cumin powder and serve.

Additional info
Taste – tangy from raw mangoes, very little sweet and flavored with spices
Shelf life – it can be kept refrigerated up to 3-4 days.
Serving suggestions – serve it as a beverage on hot summer to beat the heat.

great recipes!! will keep watching for more ideas

sumalynux · Apr 25, 2014

I personally dont like fruit juices, because we grind the fruit and throw all
the fiber part mainly and add sugar..

To beat the summer heat , its better to carry

1. Orange (Can eat even in late evening)
2. Watermelon pieces (Eat before noon)
3. Cucumber pieces(Eat before noon)
4. Grapes (Ca eat even in late evening)

1. Butter milk (With Lunch)
2. Ragi/Buttermilk Kanji (before noon
3. Lemon juice (Can drink in evening)
4. Rasna or Tango drink (Evening, I know its more of sugar, but atleast we
are not throwing away fruits main content)

Yes, carrying fruits will be very good. I heard like sugar added in fruit juice will spoil some nutrients of fruits..

My DH wont take cut fruits:-(, as he needs to travel to each site for the day, so he prefer to take some thing in bottle so that he can keep it with him in bike and drink when he gets time..

Ragi kanji is good idea, also suits for mine.. I think we can put some onion or mango piece pickle or some fried more milagai (broken in pieces) with it.

NO NO NO... Never add onion/tangy items to buttermilk or Kanji if its carried
in bottles to office.. It gives bad odor n spoils kanji..

If ur doing Ragi kanji to pack, put 1-3 spoons of ragi in quarter glass
of water, mix it well, then add it to 1-2 glass of boiling water, and let it
cook for 5mins.. Then mix it with half glass of milk and half glass of
curds and add salt and asafetoida..

This kinda ragi kanji stays good till 12;00-2;00pm if packed @ 8;00am..
